ONCE MOTHER SAID,MY LITTLE PET,YOU OUGHT TO LEARN YOUR ALPHABET.SO IN MY SOUP I USED TO GETALL THE LETTERSOF THE ALPHABET.I LEARNED THEM ALL FROM A TO Z,AND NOW MY MOTHER'S GIVING ME:

ANIMAL CRACKERS IN MY SOUP,MONKEYS AND RABBITS LOOP THE LOOP.GOSH, OH GEE, BUT I HAVE FUNSWALLOWING ANIMALS ONE BY ONE.

IN EVERY BOWL OF SOUP I SEELIONS AND TIGERS WATCHING ME.I MAKE THEM JUMP RIGHT THROUGH A HOOP,THOSE ANIMAL CRACKERS IN MY SOUP.

WHEN I GET HOLD OF THE BIG BAD WOLF,I JUST PUSH HIM UNDER TO DROWN,THEN I BITE HIM IN A MILLION BITS,AND I GOBBLE HIM RIGHT DOWN.

WHEN THEYRE INSIDE ME WHERE ITS DARK,I WALK AROUND LIKE NOAHS ARK.I STUFF MY TUMMY LIKE A GOOP,WITH ANIMAL CRACKERS IN MY SOUP.

ANIMAL CRACKERS IN MY SOUP,DO FUNNY THINGS TO ME.THEY MAKE ME THINK MY NEIGHBORHOODIS A BIG MENAGERIE.FOR INSTANCE THERE'S OUR JANITOR, HIS NAME IS MR KLEIN,AND WHEN HE HOLLERSAT US KIDS,HE REMINDS ME OF A LION.

THE GROCER IS SO BIG AND FAT,HE HAS A BIG MUSTACHE.HE LOOKS JUST LIKE A WALRUSJUST BEFORE HE TAKES A SPLASH.

ANIMAL CRACKERS IN MY SOUP,MONKEYS AND RABBITS LOOP THE LOOP.GOSH, OH GEE, BUT I HAVE FUNSWALLOWING ANIMALS ONE BY ONE.

verse:THERE ARE SO MANY KINDS OF RICHES,AND ONLY ONE OF THEM IS GOLD.THE WEALTH YOU MISS, REMEMBER THIS,WORTHWHILE THINGS CANNOT BE BOUGHT OR SOLD.

Chorus:THE MOON BELONGS TO EV'RYONE,THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE.THE STARS BELONG TO EV'RYONE,THEY GLEAM THERE FOR YOU AND ME.THE FLOWERS IN SPRING,THE ROBINS THAT SING,THE SUNBEAMS THAT SHINE,THEY'RE YOURS, THEY'RE MINE!AND LOVE CAN COME TO EV'RYONE,THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE.

verse:OH! THEY SAY SOME PEOPLE LONG AGOWERE SEARCHING FOR A DIFF'RENT TUNE,ONE THAT THEY COULD CROON AS ONLY THEY CAN.THEY HAD THE RHYTHM SO THEY STARTED SWAYING TO AND FRO.THEY DIDN'T KNOW JUST WHAT TO USE,THAT IS HOW THE BLUES REALLY BEGAN:

Chorus:THEY HEARD THE BREEZE IN THE TREESSINGING WEIRD MELODIESAND THEY MADE THAT THE START OF THE BLUES.AND FROM A JAIL CAME THE WAILOF A DOWN HEARTED FRAIL,AND THEY PLAYED THAT AS PART OF THE BLUES.

FROM A WHIPPOORWILL OUT ON A HILL,THEY TOOK A NEW NOTE,PUSHED IT THROUGH A HORN'TIL IT WAS WORN INTO A BLUE NOTE!

AND THEN THEY NURSED IT, REHEARSED IT,AND GAVE OUT THE NEWSTHAT THE SOUTHLAND GAVE BIRTH TO THE BLUES!

verse 1:BLACKBIRD, BLACKBIRD,SINGING THE BLUES ALL DAYRIGHT OUTSIDE MY DOOR.BLACKBIRD, BLACKBIRD,WHY DO YOU SIT AND SAY,THERE'S NO SUNSHINE IN STORE?ALL THROUGH THE WINTER YOU HUNG AROUND,NOW I BEGIN TO FEEL HOMEWARD BOUND.BLACKBIRD, BLACKBIRD,GOTTA BE ON MY WAY,WHERE THERE'S SUNSHINE GALORE.

Chorus:PACK UP ALL MY CARE AND WOE,HERE I GO SINGING LOW,BYE BYE BLACKBIRD.WHERE SOMEBODY WAITS FOR MESUGAR'S SWEET,SO IS SHE,BYE BYE BLACKBIRD.NO ONE HERE CAN LOVE OR UNDERSTAND ME,OH WHAT HARD LUCK STORIES THEY ALL HAND ME.MAKE MY BED AND LIGHT THE LIGHT,I'LL ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT,BLACKBIRD, BYE BYE.

verse 2:BLUEBIRD, BLUEBIRD,CALLING ME FAR AWAY.I'VE BEEN LONGING FOR YOU.BLUEBIRD, BLUEBIRD,WHAT DO I HEAR YOU SAY,SKIES ARE TURNING BLUE?I'M LIKE A FLOWER THAT'S FADING HEREWHERE EV'RY HOUR IS ONE LONG TEAR.BLUEBIRD, BLUEBIRD,THIS IS MY LUCKY DAY,NOW MY DREAMS WILL COME TRUE.

Chorus:PACK UP ALL MY CARE AND WOE,HERE I GO SINGING LOW,BYE BYE BLACKBIRD.WHERE SOMEBODY WAITS FOR MESUGAR'S SWEET, SO IS SHE,BYE BYE BLACKBIRD.NO ONE HERE CAN LOVE OR UNDERSTAND ME,OH WHAT HARD LUCK STORIES THEY ALL HAND ME.MAKE MY BED AND LIGHT THE LIGHT,I'LL ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT,BLACKBIRD, BYE BYE.

FIVE FOOT TWO,EYES OF BLUE,BUT OH!WHAT THOSE FIVE FOOTCOULD DO,HAS ANYBODYSEEN MY GIRL?TURNED UP NOSE,TURNED DOWN HOSE,NEVER HAD NO OTHER BEAUS.HAS ANYBODYSEEN MY GIRL?NOW IF YOU RUN INTOA FIVE FOOT TWO,COVERED WITH FUR,DIAMOND RINGSAND ALL THOSE THINGS,BETCHA' LIFEIT ISN'T HER.BUT COULD SHE LOVE,COULD SHE WOO?COULD SHE,COULD SHE,COULD SHE COO?HAS ANYBODYSEEN MY GIRL?

[verse]:TO BE OR NOT TO BE -THAT IS NOT THE QUESTION!I DECIDED LONG AGO TO BE!WITH ME, IT'S WHAT TO BE,NOW.MAKE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS,GOOD OR BAD,WHICH IS THE BEST FOR MEWHEN YOU'RE AFTER FUN AND LAUGHTER?THIS AGGRAVATES YOU,SOME REFORMERS SAY, A WARMER CLIMATE AWAITS YOU!

[Chorus]:IF IT'S NAUGHTY TO ROUGE YOUR LIPS,SHAKE YOUR SHOULDERS AND SHAKE YOUR HIPS,LET A LADY CONFESS, I WANT TO BE BAD!IF IT'S NAUGHTY TO VAMP THE MEN,SLEEP EACH MORNING TILL AFTER TEN,THEN THE ANSWER IS YES, I WANT TO BE BAD!

THIS THING OF BEING A GOOD LITTLE GOODY IS ALL VERY WELL.WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE LOADED WITH PLENTY OF HEALTHAND VIGOR;WHEN YOU'RE LEARNING WHAT LIPS ARE FOR,AND IT'S NAUGHTY TO ASK FOR MORE,LET A LADY CONFESS, I WANT TO BE BAD!

OH, IF IT'S NAUGHTY TO ROUGE YOUR LIPS,SHAKE YOUR SHOULDERS AND SHAKE YOUR HIPS,THEN LET A LADY CONFESS, I WANT TO BE BAD!(BOOP-BOOP-A-DOOP!)AND IF IT'S NAUGHTY TO VAMP THE MEN,SLEEP EACH MORNING TILL AFTER TEN,THEN THE ANSWER IS YES, I WANT TO BE BAD!

NOBODY CARES JUST HOW BLUE AND HOW LONESOME I AM!IF I HAVE TROUBLES AND LAUGH, WHY THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMSEL CREDIT.

IF IT'S WRONG TO LET SOMEONE TAKE,JUST A LITTLE KISS BY MISTAKE,LET A LADY CONFESS, I WANT TO BE BAD!

I'M A DREAMER, AREN'T WE ALL?JUST A DREAMER, AREN'T WE ALL?IN MY DREAMS EACH NIGHT IT SEEMSMY SWEETHEART COMES TO CALL..HE'S SO CHARMING, STRONG AND TALL,IT'S ALARMING HOW I FALL!HE'S IDEAL, BUT THEN HE ISN'T REAL,AND I'M A FOOL, BUT AREN'T WE ALL?

[verse 1]:DON'T WANT ANY MILLIONS,I'M GETTING MY SHARE.I'VE ONLY GOT ONE SUIT,THAT'S ALL I CAN WEAR.A BUNDLE OF MONEY WON'T MAKE YOU FEEL GAY.A SWEET LITTLE HONEY IS MAKING ME SAY:

[Chorus]:I'M SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD,JUST ROLLING ALONG,JUST ROLLING ALONG.I'M QUITTING THE BLUES OF THE WORLD,JUST SINGING A SONG,JUST SINGING A SONG.

GLORY HALLELUJAH, I JUST PHONED THE PARSON,'HEY, PAR, GET READY TO CALL.'JUST LIKE HUMPTY DUMPTY,I'M GOING TO FALL.

I'M SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD,JUST ROLLING ALONG,JUST ROLLING ALONG.

[verse 2]:SOME PEOPLE HAVE DIAMONDSAND BEAUTIFUL PEARLS,WHILE OTHERS HAVE CHILDREN,JUST KIDDIES WITH CURLS.KEEP ALL OF YOUR FORTUNES,KEEP ALL OF YOUR FAME,I JUST FOUND A SWEETIEWHO'S CHANGING HER NAME.

[Chorus]:I'M SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD,JUST ROLLING ALONG,JUST ROLLING ALONG.I'M QUITTING THE BLUES OF THE WORLD,JUST SINGING A SONG,JUST SINGING A SONG.

GLORY HALLELUJAH, I JUST PHONED THE PARSON,'HEY, PAR, GET READY TO CALL.'JUST LIKE HUMPTY DUMPTY,I'M GOING TO FALL.I'M SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD,JUST ROLLING ALONG,JUST ROLLING ALONG.

verse 1:LOVERS DEPEND ON MOONLIGHT FOR A LOVE AFFAIR.BABIES DEPEND ON MOTHERSFOR THEIR TENDER CAREFLOWERS DEPEND ON SUNSHINEAND THE MORNING DEW.EACH THING DEPENDS ON SOMETHING,AND I DEPEND ON YOU.

Chorus:I CAN BE HAPPY,I CAN BE SAD,I CAN BE GOODOR I CAN BE BAD,IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU.I CAN BE LONELYOUT IN A CROWD,I CAN BE HUMBLE,I CAN BE PROUD,IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU.

I CAN SAVE MONEY,OR SPEND IT,GO RIGHT ON LIVING,OR END IT.YOU'RE TO BLAME, HONEY,FOR WHAT I DO.

I KNOW THAT I CAN BE BEGGAR,I CAN BE KING,I CAN BE ALMOST ANY OLD THING,IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU.

verse 2:ISN'T IT SWEET TO KNOW DEAR,YOU CAN HELP ME ON?WOULDN'T IT HURT TO KNOW DEAR,ALL MY HOPES WERE GONE?WOULDN'T IT MAKE YOU PROUD, DEAR,IF I MADE A NAME?BUT IF I FAILED TO WIN DEAR,WOULD YOU WANT ALL THE BLAME?
